So, I'll try to make this as brief as possible.
Some context, I live in a city in Mexico, I don't wanna say which city but it's a big one.
A week ago I was walking, just minding my business, I love Pokemon Go, so I was playing it while walking. I was passing through a supermarket's parking lot and suddenly two assholes on a motorcycle stopped right in front of me and the douche on the back tried to snatch the phone out of my hand. I don't know how I did it, but I gripped my phone so hard and moved in a way that made him unable to grab it away from me, so they just drove off.
I was extremely lucky I came out of that incident completely unharmed and with all of my things. Nevertheless, that sadly ruined my day because I was just so angry someone tried to steal my phone, it doesn't matter they didn't, THEY FUCKING TRIED.
Anyways... days go by and I decide I need a haircut, so I go to this place I just discovered and I've only gone to once, I liked it so I came back and everything went fine. They treated me nicely, I got the haircut I wanted, paid them, said thank you, got in my car, and drove off. Nothing unusual, I got home and did my things.
Yesterday I find out just a couple of days later... two assholes robbed the place, guns in hand. They grabbed everything they could, hit a man on the head, harassed a woman, and just ran away unscathed with all the stuff.
The man they hit and stripped everything from sat on the same fucking chair I was just a couple of days before the incident. It's so terrifying to see that could have been me.
How do I know all about this incident? There was a recording from the security cameras in the place and it became viral in my city.
(Just in case you're wondering, it's very unlikely they'll find the assholed who did this, they had hats on, baggy clothes, and facemasks, so they are absolutely unidentifiable)
Even though I didn't get anything of mine stolen and I am completely safe from that event, I am left paranoid and scared of the world.
Also, very very sad and discouraged...
What am I doing in this world? I have two jobs but still don't make a lot of money. I AM saving money, as much as I possibly can to pursue my goals in life, but.....what for?
I could save money for YEARS and finally buy a new car... only for it to get stolen by a nobody with a gun. Years of hard work, stress, sweat, and tears down the drain in less than an hour.
Why am I doing this? why am I working two jobs if anyone with a gun can come to me and say "Give me all of that" and succeed?
I cannot control life and the things that could happen to me, so why am I trying in the first place? I feel like I'm working and putting so much effort into nothing.
OH, by the way, don't come to me with something like "no shit, you live in Mexico, of course, it's horrible, you should move out of that shithole", because, guess what? this is not only a Mexican problem, this is a humanity problem.
ABSOLUTELY ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS CRIMINALITY PROBLEMS.
You name it, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Panama, United States, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, India, China, Japan, Russia, Uganda, South Africa, Australia-ANY COUNTRY has problems with criminality and unsafe places.
Where could I go to escape crime? Pfff... If only I could travel to another planet where I'd be the only existing human.
*Sigh* What do I do? What's the point?
